Tar Heels beat first ranked foe of season

After James Michael McAdoo flung the basketball upward in celebration and Dexter Strickland happily skipped off the court past the student section, after having logged 47 practices this season and just after the conclusion of their 13th game, the North Carolina Tar Heels gladly indulged in something new Saturday. A gleeful, previously untapped sense of accomplishment. (Gaston Gazette)
